Abstract

Human hydatid disease is endemic in Turkey and brain hydatosis is a childhood disease. The hydatid cysts of the brain are mostly single and 18% of the cases have another visceral involvement. The cysts may rarely reach to gigantic sizes in children. Here, we report a case of gigantic hydatid cyst of the brain in a seven years old boy who presented with signs of increased intracranial pressure. He was successfully operated with Dowling’s surgical technique and he is still being followed up with no neurologic sequel.

Özet

İnsan hidatik hastalığı Türkiye’de endemik olup, beyin hidatozisi çocukluk çağının hastalığıdır. Beyin hidatik kistleri sıklıkla tek olup vakaların %18’inde diğer viseral organlarda tutulum mevcuttur. Kistler çocukluk çağında nadiren çok büyük boyutlara ulaşmaktadır. Bu yazıda artmış kafa içi basıncı bulguları ile başvuran ve beyinde devasal boyutlarda hidatik kisti saptanan yedi yaşında erkek bir olgu sunulmaktadır. Hasta başarıyla Dowling’s cerrahi tekniği ile opere edilmiş olup halen sekelsiz olarak takip edilmektedir.
